Dataset used

The data used in the this app show the top 10 largest hotels in Las Vegas by ranking of rooms. The data is derived from: https://easy.vegas/hotels/largest, last updated in April 2022.

Of note, there are many different ways to calculate this data. For example, in some lists, the Venetian is the largest hotel by number of rooms, which includes the rooms under the Pallazo. This data set generally separates out the different hotels, with the exeption of Resorts World, possibly because all three hotels are operating different wings of the same tower/building, vs different towers/buildings/hotel names.

App Use

The App provides slider bars for minimum and maximum number of rooms. This allows the user to refind a search based on various ranges of number of rooms in the hotel.

The interactive output returns a refined list from the following data table, based on user inputs.

Data Table

The data table also shows latitude/longtitude, which can be used to evaluate if location might impact # of rooms. It appears the larger hotels are towards the Southern end of the Las Vegas Strip. This data was used in creating a leaflet map, and could be used for a future App modification, such as to calculate distance from the airport or some other specific venue.
